You should keep the oil, i. e. keep the product very strong, but just use less of it, if you're too weak for it. Do not lessen its inherent strength.
My personal recommendation out of experience.
I experienced problems with this too, though I would narrow it down to elitistic programmers & low level experts, which are naturally found in #Linux centric comminities. Especially, those who think, C is still the best thing ever & if you aren't for it, you are apparently too stupid to understand computers.
As for #Linux & #FOSS in general, I have experienced plenty of n00b communities, which are the opposite of elitistic. They help out newbies, even with the "easiest" questions, without making them feel bad.
But if you join a #community about a complicated product, then you most likely will meet someone who is registered on the forum for 20 years & everyone else is supposedly stupid, because nobody has that much knowledge about the product in question.
The first spontaneous example that arrived in my mind right now, when thinking about this is the #OpenVPN forum & its "TinCanMan" or whatever that dude is called.
He is an utterly elitistic anti-helper, who basically always shames you for not reading the entire 500 page #OpenVPN manual & understanding everything right away, without any questions, despite the fact that typical #Linux manuals are always shit, because they only define stuff, rather than just giving an example.
An example of five lines explains thousand times more reality than a hundred lines long definition, in my experience with #Linux like manuals.
So, based on that example, I think one of the stupidest anti-help things in #FOSS communities is that attitude, that before you ask ANY question, you first must read 500 pages of a manual or you don't even qualify for a question. That's just mad, because it's denying reality, like the fact that usually people use several products at once & they cannot just read 1500 pages of 3 manuals before asking one question.
The other toxic thing that arrived in my mind right now is one dude on the #ArchLinux forum. There is one guy, forgot his name, but everyone will easily find him, because he's almost in every thread, who always shames everyone for not understanding everything about #ArchLinux right away.
Needless to say, I think the #RTFM tag is utterly bullshit in many scenarios, where manuals are way too long & too complicated & don't even offer examples & sometimes they are even outdated, as well.

Make a post about it with links etc.
It's not about privacy. It's funny, how apparently people got so used to it, perhaps it's not easy to get my point across.
I reject the design of how the video was edited. This is that whole ADHD causing & inducing type of hyperactive video style, which is typical for Tik Tok.
When I want something explained by a genius like Snowden, I don't need any mid-titles, music, crazy cuts & crops to feel entertained. I'm already extremely entertained by the genius himself & what he says. I don't need this whole circus around it.
Just want to say, that while the content is obviously to be agreed with, I strongly reject the tiktokification of the video. I wish it would've just been a video of him explaining it, rather than adding unnecessary mid-titles, blocking the view of his face.
The music wasn't too annoying, but definitely also superfluous.
It'll probably start with overhyped kiddie Twitch streamers, who create some accounts & sell them a while later, after using them, for big money, just because a fan wants everything related to this person.
Now I need to custodialy "sell" my events with a magic trick, by not telling people I can't actually do that & then disappear with my millions to the Maldives, just to appear in YouTube videos, like one made by Upper Echelon Gamer, who debunks my business model & tells the people who believed in my scam "told ya so".
#Amtheyst supports connections through Tor & if several npubs connect through the same Exit Node, that is no proof of anything.
To be honest, generally speaking (not specifically talking about you), people overestimate the technical aspects waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too much & hugely underestimate the social engineering stuff.
For example, instead of thinking about IP addresses, VPNs & npubs, you should rather think about the language, grammar & dialect you use on different accounts.
If you use your original idiolect on every account, you might as well connect with your real IP & have it on the same account, because an AI can probably link those accounts within seconds, if you have a very specific idiolect & use it the same way everywhere.
Partition.
Just partition.
Be honest & don't lie, but never tell the whole story at once. Always just enlighten parts of truth about you, but never everything at the same time, in the same medium.
This way, you are quite anonymous or pseudonymous (depending on how much you hide), but to be able to use that information against you, people (or AI) would need to greatly research everything about you, to connect all the pieces, but by then you have proven that they put a lot of energy into making you seem bad, which lowers their own reputation, leading to you being able to counter them in a trustworthy way. :)
That said, the road to hell is paved with good intentions. Most people don't realise, that good intentions really suck.
What matters is what you do & how you do it.
If the wrong man uses the right means, the right means work in the wrong way.
Did you know, that everything that happens to you, is your doing?
#asknostr Any DVMs out there I can host to help the community? I got spare RAM and CPU cycles and would love to rent it out to someone who could use some! It's not a whole lot, but enough nevertheless.
NanoPi R6s

Hetzner ARM VPS

And my PC is a Ryzen 9 3900X with 32GB RAM. When I am not playing games, most of that stuff is free and idle.
So yeah! If there's something I could host that could help someone, that'd be great. And as far as I understand, that is what DVMs are for. :)
Why ARM VPS?
Eat meat!
Fun fact: there are iron things, which are for example shaped like fish, which are put into soups for the sake of increasing its iron content.
Its commonly used in parts of Asia.
If you use such a thing, you can just pimp your favourite soup with it.
It's tough to pretend with SEV how many apes do revolve around earth when sick children eat cake & make you cry for no reason other than finding the casino in GTA Online.
I think, the amount of natural stupidity is already too overwhelming.
This post is the embodiment of American culture.
It works, if you believe in it. Otherwise there is no real biological reason it actually helps.
Id vs. Superego.
I have to tinker to avoid having it messed up by default.
Imagine running your vendor's stock Android ROM.... 🤢🤢🤮
I don't have time to respond, will respond fully later.
This is only a small comment about not seeing them & not being able to interpret them.
The way you describe it, you basically have the same problem autistic people have. Maybe you can research how they deal with it?
I'm sure they can tell you some tools & tricks regarding that topic. :)
